lHE RICHMOND FATXADIUM AND SUN-TELE GRAM, THURSDAY, AUGUST: 6, 1914
PROPOSE 0RDIIIM1CE TO CONSERVE TREES Board Members Recommend Action at Next Session of Council. A recommendation for drafting an effective ordinance to provide for the nroner conservation of the city's shade
trees will be made to council by the board of public works. J The .board decided today there was j
in imperative need of vesting some one with complete authority to supervise the care of trees. It will be left to council to decide whether some official now employed by the city shall assume thia work, or whether a salaried city forester be employed. The board has been favorably impressed by the Fort Wayne plan, which provides for a city forester who has complete supervision of all trees 1 and who receives fees from property owners for the care of their trees. This plan avoids the necessity of the city having to pay a salary to its forester and at the same time t-ssures scientific tree conservation. The plan has met with general favor in Fort Wayne.

BULL PET ROUSES FIREMAN BEFORE ALARM COMES IN
"Nellie," the smart bull terrier, the prized pet of the city hall fire companies, has not been a member of the department several years for nothing. She knows a fire when she sees one and she knows that it is her duty to sound the alarm in such an emergency. Early this morning Assistant Chief Carter was sleeping in the front office. When the big south end blaze
broke out watchful Nellie saw the flames. She rushed to Carter's side and licked bis hands until she aroused him. That done she Tushed to the door and through its window Carter saw the cause of her excitement. Just at that
time the alarm came in. While the firemen can always de-
pend on Nellie detecting a blaze which is anywhere near the city hall they
have long since abandoned all hope of her ever accompanying the wagons to the blaze. When the alarm sounds she gives one mournful yelp and then makes herself as scarce as a Frenchman in Germany.

SMOKE OVERCOMES BREHM III STABLE
Being a hero even on a small scale "is no pipe." So says Harry Brehm, a clerk in Quigley's drug store. Brehm attempted the hero act last night at a fire which was burning in a barn on South Seventh street but the incident closed with Brehm drenched and minus his last meal. The drug clerk saw flames eating away a horse's tail in the building and he entered. Tne horse refused to leave the stall. Brehm stayed with
the animal until smoke overcame him.
He fell over on the stable floor.
Brehm was removed by two men who had watched his efforts to rescue the horse. As he , was leaving the stable in a semi-conscious condition firemen directed a seventy pound pressure stream at the door. Brehm
was bowled over again but was fully conscious. He was ill for the rest of the night. The horse finally left the stable but the owner shot it because of serious burns.
